Clara Hughes finishes third in Exergy Tour

Winnipeg's Clara Hughes finished third overall on the Exergy Tour on Monday after an 11th-place finish on the fourth and final stage of the road race. Hughes finished 55 seconds back of Germany's Claudia Hausler and American Evelyn Stevens. That final-stage breakaway gave Stevens the Tour win and firmly cemented her claim to a berth on the U.S. Olympic team for the London Games. Jasmin Glaesser of Coquitlam finished seventh overall, one minute 50 seconds off Stevens's total time. Karol-Ann Canuel of Amos, Que., was 12th overall and Olympic hopeful Tara Whitten of Edmonton finished 16th. Winnipeg's Leah Kirch-mann placed 23rd, Calgary's Julie Beveridge was 24th, Victoria's Gillian Carleton was 26th and Leah Guloien of Port Moody was 33rd.
